Desalination machines likely to be rolled out across Irish salmon farms after succesful trial

Norwegian-made equipment was sent over in August in reponse to freshwater protests.

A new method of supplying clean water to salmon farms in Connemara, Western Ireland is likely to continue following successful trials, reports the Connacht Tribune.

A machine using desalinated sea water is reported to be working well after a three month trial at a site in Killary fjord, the country’s only fjord. The Norwegian-made machine is likely to be used again next year.
